The Big Combo

1h 27m • Crime, Film Noir • 1955

AroView: This late period film noir borders on a parody of the genre, with light and dialogue straight out of some parallel universe. The Untouchables-style story has some cruelty that would make Elliot Ness wince, including a massacre that transpires in total silence.

“If you only ever see one film noir, this is it.” ~Tony D’Ambra, Films Noir
